I know all sides are just so tired of the horrible sad state of cryodil, lets have some fun with it for once. Make the best out of a bad situation.

Or it could be an eye opener for the guilds still using it....Cuz, ya know, meteor isn't the problem.

Ill bring the keg.

Personally I think the server will crash just getting the pop-lock campaign in one place, yet alone having them cast meteor.

Valnas

lemme just get that second 50gb client dl queue'd up and use up the rest of my ssd. reasons pts is a bad testbed for 'stress', and how it flopped during pts 1.6 when we literally couldn't even begin.

dsalter

dont forget your ulti reduction gear if possible. spam harder.

Sriivah

I want to see this... if you need a banana to throw meteors at for this, I volunteer my dk to take flaming space rocks to the face for science.

dsalter

is this an EU or US live test btw? :P

My guess is that only bringing 200-300 players to one place will cause a lot of people to crash and high latency.

So with the server already stressed, spamming meteor wont prove that meteor itself causes lag.

TheFelidzeb

We can pretty confidently say in production it will mess things up.

I would certainly be willing to participate in a PTS event or several. Gimme a lagless Cyrodil, I have been paying for it, I would be willing to work a bit to help it come to pass as well.

NA server:

Guild leaders willing to participate please mail me when you get home tonight:

Wizard Daniel
Dragonknight Daniel
Nightblade Daniel


I'm sure I can bring the DC side, I'll need some help getting the red and yellows together. I can't wait to see this on youtube! LOL

I hope us all just standing near each other doesn't cause lag if we're not attacking each other. I don't understand what calculations would be taking place, it's not like there's collision, etc.

Honestly...if you did this on PTS when it goes up to hammer the LOS changes, that would be lovely.

Chances of coordinating a pop-locked PTS Meteor event would be more difficult to arrange on PTS.

I still think it should be done in live as well regardless, especially if that could be contrasted to PTS in order to determine the value and effectiveness of LoS changes that were made with the patch. If there were a noticeable improvement I think that would really help improve morale.

Agreed, it would allow us to actually call them on their BS or, like you said, improve moral dramatically, because they actually, finally, did something positive for us.

If everyone just used reflecting abilities meteor wouldn't be a problem anymore...

Yes.. and I remember the posts saying.. "We learned a lot" from everyone being lagged out and unable to login.

I agree with Crown, lets get it setup. Lets see what happens if we do 300+ meteors all at once. All 3 factions, pop-locked, in one spot, everyone shooting meteor, all at the same time.

Lets give them the stress test they've always dreamed of. Call it our way of civil protest lol.

I'm so down. I'll be there on DC, spamming flappy flaps. Since no one has proposed a time/location, can we do it tonight at 10pm EST on the alessia bridge in Azura's?

bosmern_ESO

Set up a date, time, campaign, location and I'll be there.

We might actually light the servers on fire.

i vote bridge too. the bridge has history for everyone and its a neutral location (kinda)

Azuras is way too crowded, unless AD has sej there will be a constant flow of EP/AD and it would be very hard to organize it without the people who don't know what we're doing attacking everyone they see.

I say the Ideal servers would be Thorn/Chill.

Sounds exciting... My guild is too small... Can I just bring my friends and spam the heck out of it? AD here... The more the merrier.....

So people are complaining that a "stress test" is going to be too crowded? /boggle

I'm sure people from every faction can spam chat and say don't cross this line. If you have meteor slot it and wait for the signal. Would be more productive hosting this on a crowded server.

Oh, people will be attacking each other. Never doubt that. The Rule of Cyrodiil is, if people can attack each other, they will attack each other. The moment one of the (many) ADD gamers in attendance gets bored, the fun will start.
Don't believe me? make an opposing faction alt, then go hang out in Cyrodiil with your own guild. I give you 10 minutes, tops.

Woah woah woah, hold up a second.

Remember back when 1.6 hit the PTS there was a big "PvP with the devs" event scheduled one evening and there were something like six crashes in 10 minutes? At the time we were told that the PTS server was not the the same as, and smaller than the live servers. So scheduling a meteor event on the PTS is pointless because we already know the PTS Cyodiil will lag without even using meteor.

This needs to be organized on the live servers & there needs to be devs experiencing it.

Like I said, if there are people running on the bridge that dont know what we'd be doing, theyd sit there and constantly attack everyone. I mean, Look at the AD that run from Alessia-sej-BRK all day, they have massive tunnel vision, They even run to the bridge if Alessia is flagged. EP could probably take every keep other then alessia along with the scrolls and you'd still see AD running from Alessia to sej.

I'm sure all factions would be able to handle the few that are trying to kill people, but for the sake of organization, it would be better to do it on a more stable campaign. Azuras is literally the worst, but if its the easiest way to do it then I wont question it anymore.

We should send 3 people into the middle from each to do the callout that the faction is ready. It could be something like /horn, once all 3 do /horn then we will create a meteor shower so large that it will make ZoS's servers go extinct just like the dinosaurs.

SLy_Kyti

Sounds like we can try this in a few weeks when IC comes to PTS.

I agree there's no need to test this on Live Server we've been doing that since v1.6.

Yes I remember trying to figure out if ZOS servers went down or if it was just me every time I tried to kill a Smurf Dev.

Umm things might have changed since then..might..then again

Lovely indeed!
@ZOS_BrianWheeler Will Devs be there as well? Alessia's Bridge? Azuras? PTS.

rfennell_ESO

Shrug if you bring the DC zergers and the EP zergers you can get 300 meteors off with only 3 raids.

Hopefully there are towers to ae so it can be done.
